As someone who has been cutting her own hair for a while now, I know how hard it can be to get it right.
A lot more goes into cutting hair than you'd think. While it is definitely best left up to the professionals, sometimes we don't always have the time or money to hit the salon. And while some DIY haircuts can go drastically wrong, these cuts went so, so right.
This one was done with hairdressing scissors, which anyone who has cut their own hair or wants to cut their own hair should absolutely have. It looks so good!
The fade from the sideburns up to his hairline looks SO good. This cut was done during the 2020 lockdown — you know, when we were all trapped inside? I do not miss those days.
The layers around the face are very, very well done. It doesn't look choppy at all, and the shorter cut suits her perfectly. It must be such a relief to chop that much hair off!
This first-time at home cutter got some praise from a cosmetologist on Reddit! They suggested thinning out the sides to tame down on the puffy ends, but otherwise loved the results. Me too!
"This is my natural hair, I don't use any products except usually herbal essence and I don't style except to upside down blow dry the roots. I have also been cutting my own hair for the past 5 years."
"Cut my own hair a while back and decided to give myself bangs [...] and I think it turned out preeeeetty dang good if I do say so myself" It looks AMAZING.
The fact that her hair was colored at home is actually shocking to me. It's professional-level coloring! It looks so good and I genuinely think she could go into hair styling in the future.
This user said they felt like they had truly found themselves with this cut. It was a challenge to get right, especially with the back parts of the hair, but I'd say it came out beautifully. LOVE that swoop.
After a series of bad haircuts, @lindsay.m.wilkins decided to chop her own hair. She then had her partner, Chris, clean up the fine details. Now it's their normal hair routine!
"So I moved to a new city and couldn’t find someone to cut my hair, so I did it myself. Gave myself these '70s shaggy bangs and some more volume just by cutting curl by curl.
It’s still a little unrefined, but it’s a learning curve for me. I’ve never cut my own hair."
"Personally I trim my hair pretty often it’s not that I need to, it’s more about the goal I have for my hair. I want my curls even and growing in the same density and thin knees from roots to ends."
"Decided to cut my own hair today because the ends were getting sad and I’m still social distancing, and I’m in love with the final results. I’m most proud of the back being mostly even."
I love everything about this. Her hair color? Gorgeous. Her makeup? Gorgeous. THOSE BANGS? GORGEOUS! They're the perfect wispy, face-framing bangs that celebrities have. Goals af.
And it was entirely cut at home! Reddit user milosrealmom followed this YouTube tutorial to cut their own hair, and it looks amazing. 10/10, would follow that tutorial too.
It's not easy to pull off a long, layered look despite what people might think. This haircut honestly looks like a professional did it!
